Terrible Tragedy.

HURON, June Especial to the
Sioux City Journal: The most terrible
tragedy known to this locality occurred
OF the Shaw farm, eight miles north
east of Huron. this morning. Simeon
Nelson and Mrs. Flora Shaw had con-
tested one of the notorious Cameron
claims. Both parties were living on
the land, their houses forty rods apart.
Mrs. Shaw was the first settler aud
made bona fide filing OH the tract,
while Nelson had only built a house
and remained there q short time and
did not make a fling. The contest was
decided in favor Of Mrs. Shaw. Neil
son, during the term of the contest.
proved up another claim and moved
his family into his house near Mrs.
Shaw's and would not vacate.
The courts were appealed to, but
Nelson disregarded the order. Mrs.
Shaw's family consisted OF herself, son
Corwin, q years old. and sister, Miss
Alice Lyman. Last Friday Corwin at
tempted to do some plowing, but was
driven off by Nelson with a ;yinches-
terrific. This morning +. G. Lyman,
brother to Mrs. Shaws, Corwin
Shaw and his mother, Miss Lyman and
G. A. Kelsey went TO the Geld to work.
Lyman and Shaw began plowing, when
Nelson came from the house and with
ont word fired shot from Winces-
ter rife at Lyman but missed him. lie
then shot Corwin as he was running
from the field, the ball entering the
back and striking the heart. Kelsey
was the next, the ball passing through
the left side and lung. Mrs. Shaw and
her sister stopped and beseeched him to
spare their lives, but he refused. Mrs.
Shaw was shot through the head, spine
side, and bullet wound in one arm
Miss Lyman was shot through the head
the ball entering the left temple, heI
face and neck being severely burned
with powder. lie also cut deep gasf
in her breast with knife. Going back
to his house he said to his wife; 1--WE
killed three Of them, now I'll shoot you
and the child, kill myself and end the
trouble" Mrs. Nelson ran from the
house and took refuge behind the barn
The child only a few momentsb before had
been sent to neighbor's on an errand
Seeing that his wife had fed he put the
gun to his left temple and blew out hi:
brains, falling only short disrance
from the door.

fair, three editions of the Daily Huron'

A Large City.

If any one were to walk one way
through all the streets Of London, he
would be obliged to go distance Of
two thousand six hundred miles, or as
far as it is across the American conti-
nent from New York to San Francisco.
This will give an idea OF what would
have to be done in order TO see even
the greater part Of London.
In our approach to this city, as well
as in our rambles through its streets,
we shall not be struck 80 much by its
splendid and imposing appearance as by
its immensity. Go where We may, there
seems to be no end to the town. 1t is
fourteen miles one way, and eight miles
the other, and contains population OF
nearly four million people, which. IL
greater, indeed, than that Of Switzer.
land or the kingdoms Of Denmark and
Greece combined. We are told on good
authority that there are more Scotch
men in London than in Edinburgh
more Irishmen than I'm Dublin, anG
more Jews than in Palestine, with for
eigners from all parts of the world
including great number of Ameri
cans. Yet there are so many English
men in London, that one is not likely
to notice the presence Of these people
Of other nations.
This vast body of citizens, some Sc
rich that they never can count theil
money, and some SO poor that they
never have any to count. eat every yea
four hundred thousand oxen. one ant
a half million sheep, eight million chick
ems and game birds, not to speak o.
calves, hogs, and different kinds of fish
They consume five hundred million oys
ters, which, although it seems like ;
large number, would only give, i
equally divided among all the people
one oyster every third day for each per
son. There are three hundred thou
sand servants In London, enough peopl,
to make a large city; but as this give
only one servant to each dozen citizens
it is quite evident that great many O
the people must wait on themselves
Things are unequally divided in Lon
don; and | have no doubt that instead
of there being one servant to twelv,
persons, some OF the rich lords and La
dies have twelve servants apiece

they were about to confer it imme-
diately upon them. In fact they had
no power to confer such boon. They
meant simply to declare the right SO
that the enforcement OF it might follow
as soon as circumstances should per-
init. They meant to set up standard
maxim for free society, which should
be familiar TO all, and revered by all;
constantly looked to, constantly labor
ed for, and even though never perfectly
attained, constantly approximated, and
thereby constantly spreading and
deepening Its influence and augment
ing the happiness and value OF life to
all people Of all colors everywhere. The
assertion that all men are created
equal was Of no practical use in effect
ing our separation from Great Britain;
and it was placed in the Declaration, not
for that, but for future use. Its au-
thors meant 1t to be as, thank God, 1t is
now proving itself, stumbling-block
to all those who in after times might
seek to turn q free people back into the
hateful paths OF despotism. They
knew the proneness Of prosperity to
breed tyrants, and they meant when
sach should reappear in this fair land
and commence their vocation, thew
should find left for them at least one
hard nut to crack.

The last volume of the United States
statutes contain some enactments Of
interest to Dakota. General Campbell,
in looking the book over discovers that
much of the legislation constructed to
fit the Utah case is made applicable to
all the territories. For instance 1t is
now the duty under penalty Of punish
ment for misdemeanor, for all persons
who solemnize marriages in Dakota to
file with the probate judge Of the
county peculiar form of certificate.
This law has been In force five or six
months and large number of minis
tiers and justices of the peace are
already liable to incarceration in the
county Jail, and great many people
who imagine themselves married would
have some trouble getting divorce.
There are other laws made to ft the
polygamous habits Of Utah people
which are in force in Dakota and un-
der them citizens Of easy morals are
liable to be forever disfranchised and
forever disgraced. A Dakotaian to be
safe should purchase pocket edition
of the United States statutes. Press

Lincoln On the Declaration OF Inde.
pendence.

In the installment OF the "Lincoln
History" published in the June Cen
tury, an account is given of the famous
Dred Scott decision, with quotations
from Lincoln's and Douglass opinions
on that decision. Lincoln incidentally
referred to the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence in the following striking Ian
guage: II think the authors Of that not
able instrument intended to include
all men; but they did not intend TO de-
clare all men equal in all respects
They did not mean to say all were
equal i'm color, size. intellect, moral de-
velopment, or social capacity. They
defined with tolerable distinctress in
what respects they did consider all men
created equal-equal with certain In
alienable rights, among which are life,
liberty, and the pursuit OF happiness. ,
This they said, and this they meant.
They did not mean to assert the oblvi-
GUS untruth that all were then actually
enjoying that equality. nor yet that

THE price of Rio coffee has advanced
10 per cent. during the past twelve
months, and it is generally attributed
to diseased product in Brazil. This
has not been demonstrated, however,
and the real cause of the rise is doubt
less the manipulation of the crop by a
powerful coffee clique. Coffee drinkers
can easily bring the combination to
grief by swearing OIL for six months
Such a process would make big DIFF
ference in the price.--Pioncer Press.

THE Evening Wisconsin has good
opinion of Dakota. 1t SAYS: "Dakota's
financial representation is quite good,
judging from her sale the other day, of
bonds to the amount Of S64l 500. There
were five bidders, but Preston & Co, OF
Chicago, secured the entire amount at
1888 premium. OF the bonds sold
$l0l 900 bear interest at per cent, ard
the remainder at Al per cent. This sale
was upon more favorable terms than
have ever before been made by q terri
tory; and it is also the first time that
territorial bonds drawing less than s
per cent. have ever been marketed.
And yet, in the eyes of Democratic
congress, Dakota is not worthy Of state
hood

DO Not Give Up.

Doubtless after every examination
much growing is INDUCED in by those
who fail to pass. 1t is quite possible
the wailing has reached the ears OF
those who make out the questions, or,
more frequently the county superinten-
dent, whom many people (of ignorance)
condemn, and hold responsible for the
hard questions" which they have
nothing to do with.
IL you have failed, recall the old
proverb of TRY again, and act accord
ingly. We can only reach the goal by
persevering.
When Fulton was building his first
steamboat at Eew York the project
was viewed by critics with contempt as
q visionary scheme" and everywhere
could be heard the discussions OF the
Fulton folly.n Discouragements pre-
sented themselves Oh all sides--yet he
never gave up.
What would have been the result had
Americans banished the idea Of inde-
pendencc when after waging bloody
battle, they were defeatedY With the
willard energy every one Of us ought to
possess, we Gun overcome any obstacle.
for as has been truly said, energy
knows Of nothing but success"
DO not lay the blame OF failure at
your superintendent's door; you alone
are in fault. DO not sink beneath your
opportunities, but wrestle with renew
ed vigor and determination against diff
fcultles, keeping as your motto lin
possible is the adjective OF fools. {"

1t is of quite az much Importance scho
we study as whdt we study. Indeed,
have thought that much Of the diff
ference among men could be traced to
their different habits Of study, formed
in youth. A large portion of our schol-
ars study for the sake OF preparing to
recite the lesson. They seem to haye
no idea Of any subject beyond recitation.
The consequence Is, they study mechan-
ically. They endeayor to remember
phraseology rather than principle; they
study the book, not the subject. They
who do this will be seen repeating over
and over again the words of the text.
as IL there were q saving charm in rep
etition. Observe the same scholars at
recitation, and it is struggle Of th0
memory to recall the form Of words.
The vacant countenance too often in
dicate that they are words without
meaning. This difficulty is very much
increased ii the teacher Is confined to-
textbooks during recitations; and par
ticularly, If he relics mainly upon the
printed questions, SO often found at the
bottom of the page.
The scholar should be encouraged to
study the subject; and his book should be-
held merely as an instrument. hooks
are but helps, lis good motto for every
student. The teacher should often tell
how the lesson should be learned. His
precept in this matter will often be Of
use. Human life is too short to have
any of it employed to disadvantage.
The teacher, then, should incnlcate
such habits Of study as are valuables
and he should be particularly careful
to break up, in the recitations, those
habits which are 80 grossly mechanical
A child may almost be said to be edu-
Gated, who has learned to study. - D0cid

NOT cRED1rABLE TO COLORADO.

1t is gradually dawning on the minds
of the people that our friends over in
Colorado are not winning great fame
out of their present Indian war" The
first news of trouble was accompanied
by some startling announcements, to
the effect that the whole southern part
of the State was in imminent danger.
The impression was conveyed that the
State would be able to grapple with the
hostiles and suppress them If only few
days. time could be had for the ad-
vance of the militia. Since then the
militia has been advancing" daily
from all points, but the troops seem to
have advanced no further than Glen
wood Springs, where they are having q
great time playing soldier. Since old
Colorow resisted the advance of Sheriff
Kendall, there has been time
to have made good Indians
of sllthe renegade bucks In western Col
orado. Why energy has not been man
ifested in another direction than the
penning of sensational dispatches is
something which the Colorado officials
should explain. If the explanation
should be delayed until CoIorow had
massacred 8 few citizens, it might be
deucedly awkward to make it. People
would be very apt to suggest that
cowsrdiee had more to do with keeping
the militia at safe distance from the
Indians than would be pleasing to the
feelings OF the captains, majors and
colonies who in the newspaper dis
patches are represented as eagerly
riding to "the front"
After all this delay. this ample time
for the calling out and dispatching to
the scene of hostilities of militia enough
to eat the Indians, if there shall be any
Slaughter of whites it will be more
ehargeable to the slothfulness of Cole
RADIO officials than to the failure Of the
general government TO forward troops.

IT WOULD hardly be the proper thing
TO arrest the Salvationists and put them
in Jail; indeed, we don't know that
there is law under which they could
be arrested. But there can be nc
statute against wishing these cranks
tramps, idiots or losfers, whichever you
may prefer, would pitch their tent on
the other side of Jordan, and give the
jack rabbits the benefit of the execrable
noises, instrumental and vocal, which
they produce. We have no complaint
to lay against the Salvation Army. In
fact, We respect and love the Salvation
lists, but We love them as We do a boil
when it is on some other fellow.
